New Assortments of Granat Hand Sanding Sheets!

[tbellemare]

I have just created 6 new offerings and I want to thank everyone for their participation in the info gathering thread earlier today.

I am now offering assortments of the new foam-backed Granat Hand Sanding Sheets. The full rolls have 200 sheets with each sheet being 115mm x 125mm. These 120-sheet assortments are meant to help people get started with these abrasives and figure out which grits they use most. With that knowledge, the user can supplement the most used girts later.

• Full Assortment in T-Loc - 20 each of P120, P150, and P180 Plus 10 each of P240, P320, P400, P500, P600, and P800
• Full Assortment - 20 each of P120, P150, and P180 Plus 10 each of P240, P320, P400, P500, P600, and P800
• Prep' Assortment in T-Loc - 20 each of P120, P150, P180, P240, P320, and P400

I'll definitely do the full assortment w/o TLoc, as I have an empty Sys3. 

I make furniture as a hobby in my garage, and really appreciate not having to buy a full box of everything.  As well, I have switched almost completely to Granat.  It is perfect for what i do.

Thanks for doing this.

I ordered a 6" granat assortment about a month ago and I love how it smells!  Crazy, I know. 

it works well for sanding too... 

 

[tbellemare]

These have a more complex smell, sort of layered, with the initial Granat aroma and then... the foam-back.

Maybe Festool will make a new promo item: a Rotex hanging air freshener for your car that smells like new Granat.  Sure beats the pine tree one.

Who comes up with these product codes?

I like the idea, Tom.  I hope Lee Valley starts carrying something similar.

Who comes up with these product codes?

Me...

I think it's funny because I consulted with companies for a long time that thought that there was value in having the product code describe the product. I remember Monsanto had several 10" tall tomes that were describing how everything should be categorized in excruciating detail by an identification code. 'And I mean, Everything. There are threads in this Forum about mechanical pencils - they had descriptive codes for each diameter, type, color, and hardness of lead. It took a lot of work to learn what code to use for each of the assemblies and parts you were employing in designs for them. It was really very inefficient.

When there were no databases, this all made sense to be organized for cross-disciplinary utility. Companies continued the same nonsense for decades beyond when it made any difference. Obviously, ToolTechnic figured out the practice had little value in the modern world and uses 6-digit numerical codes. I'm not as big as them.

I do it for nastalgia... and I'm too lazy to set up a numbering system for a handful of product codes.
